Member Benefits
-
Increased representation. IIABKC members benefit from three-tier representation – representation within King County, representation on a state-wide level (through IIABW), and representation on a national level (through IIABA).
-
Educational opportunities. The IIABKC’s continuing education programs and Annual Meetings offer members unparalleled education offerings that are tailored to the specific needs of King County agents. For example, the recently concluded Annual continuing education meeting on December 2 was a particularly thought-provoking session on the Dirty Dozen of Claims. We again partnered with PLUS (Professional Liability Underwriting Society) for this event and it was approved for 3 Ethics CE and CLE Credits.
-
Networking. Every contact you make is a potential asset to you and your business. The IIABKC Annual Meeting, educational offerings, golf tournament and social events are excellent tools for professional interaction. And, the IIABKC Board makes a concerted effort to co-host events with other industry associations (e.g. PLUS, CPCU), to further increase the networking potential for you.
-
Investing in our Industry. The IIABKC makes two key investments in the future of the local insurance industry: 1.) we sponsor an insurance internship to a college student, and 2.) we provide Professional Development Grants, up to $500 each, that can be applied to the continuing education efforts of any employee of an IIABKC member for any educational event including the IIABW and Young Agents Conventions, CIC, IIABW-sponsored CE. The professional development grants alone can pay for your membership.
-
Public Relations enhancement. The IIABKC works hard to educate the public on the role of the independent insurance agent and provide press coverage for activities of the organization.
-
Responsibility. As a member of the insurance industry, you have a responsibility to be part of its workings. The successful professional is one who shares that responsibility and who participates in his or her industry organization. We need and want you to be part of our team.

Tuesday, November 24th, 2020
Class One: 2:00pm - 3:00pm
ETHICS IN THE WORKPLACE- 1 Hour: (Kirk Caswell)
This insurance company training program is designed to provide a practical look at ethical decision-making. Instead of relying on “gut feel”, the process contained in this program takes the decision-maker through several filters which ensure that all parties affected by the decision will be considered.
Class Two: 3:30pm - 4:30pm
HOARDING: THE HIDDEN DILEMMA-1 Hour: (Jason Zach)
Hoarding is not new. What we call it and how we proactively deal with it is. Whether you understand the psychology behind the disorder or not, the cleanup and end results should be the same. Your efforts will help the customer or family get back to some degree of normalcy.
Sign up for both classes and receive a raffle ticket for a great prize!
